Thanks to a decision by an Ohio court of appeals, the village of Sunbury no longer is enforcing its controversial vicious-dog ordinance.

Thanks to a lawsuit against the city of Reynoldsburg, however, the ordinance no...

New bill was signed into law a few weeks back. This shit was done in the dark since no one I've talked to ( and I've been hitting everyone I know up in PA) in the last few days has heard anything about it even being thought about, let alone already being signed by that douche bag Gov. Wolf until it was already to late to oppose it. I found out thanks to Treez,. Good looking out homie.....

About a decade after the city banned pit bulls within its borders, Lakewood residents are still pushing back against the breed-specific legislation (BSL). There has been near-constant and earnest backlash over the past 10 years, but a renewed and well organized commitment to repealing this law is really taking hold now.

WEST CHESTER, PA (WTXF) - Too many of the dog shelters in our area are overrun with pets needing forever homes. The problem is even worse for pit bulls because of the ugly preconceived notions many have of the breed.

The language of the proposed ordinance in Jasper, TN regarding pit bulls clarifies some questions.

Ordinance 376, scheduled for a public meeting and a second and final reading at the June 12 town meeting asserts that pits bulls possess a “strong fighting instinct,” “a diminished tendency to bark, growl, or otherwise warn their prey of intent to attack,” “a genetic predisposition to aggressiveness,” as well as “current methods...

RIVERSIDE – To ensure that dogs aren’t euthanized merely on the basis of their breeding, the Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance requiring animal control officials to individually evaluate all canines that
